发帖数: 13 | 1 Internships are available in a joint venture between the Biomolecular
Systems Laboratory and the Daniel Segrè Laboratory at Boston University.
Interns will be able to apply and extend their expertise in systems
programming and information technology by contributing to the development of
a web-based platform (microbialnet.org) for the construction, mining, and
analyses of microbial networks. The project is sponsored by NIH and will be
eventually integrated with another NIH-sponsored project (visant.bu.edu) to
facilitate cross-scale integration and analyses of networks ranging from
protein/gene to the ecosystems of microbes and their hosts. The
participation of the project provides an excellent opportunity to build the
skills of full-stack web development, as well as cutting-edge computational
techniques of network analyses involving:
• Front-end web development:
·Bootstrap and Angular framework for interactive and responsive WEB UI
design involving JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS, etc.
·Interactive data visualization using D3
• Back-end development
·Database development (SQL, Java)
o Relational database (Postgres) design, construction, and optimization,
as well as automatic data population
o Synchronization with external databases (e.g., NCBI taxonomy database
) to keep the data up to date
o Automatic database backup
·Server API development (Java, Java servlet, and JDBC, etc.)
o REST-based Web Services design and implementation to retrieve data
required for the different business logic
o REST-based Web Services for user management, including registration,
login/logout,
• Computational development (python, java, etc.)
·Network analyses including topological structure analyses, module
detection, etc.
·Pipeline construction to generate microbial networks based on either
metagenomic sequence or OTU (Operational taxonomy unit) data
To qualify, you must have
• Basic programming experience
• Strong analytical abilities and attention to detail
• A keen interest in programming or computational technology
• Self-motivation
• Ability to work with others
• Ability to work on deadlines
For our interns to have a meaningful experience, we require at least a 16-
hour/week commitment for at least three months. Full days are not necessary,
but a regular schedule is preferred. Candidates interested please contact
either Dr. DeLisi ([email protected]), Dr. Segre ([email protected]), or
Dr. Hu ([email protected]). |
